Mountain View Observatory Not Ready for BrickLink Designer Program Crowdfunding

The BrickLink Designer Program is set to kick off the crowdfunding stage for the projects that were production ready. For those who were waiting to pre-order Mountain View Observatory, you won’t be able to because it has been moved to another round due to the high complexity of it. The last update on it was on May 14 for it to get ready but it wasn’t enough time to do so. Hopefully, it’ll be ready for either of the next crowdfunding rounds.

Unfortunately, due to high complexity of this project, it will no longer be included in Round 1 crowdfunding. It will be available for crowdfunding in another round. Please check back for updates.

There will still be seven projects available for pre-order tomorrow which includes the Sheriff’s Safe, Pursuit of Flight, BIONICLE Legends, Kakapo, Castle in the Forest, Particle Accelerator, and Great Fishing Boat.

Thanks to Shayne for the heads up.

LEGO Shop July 2021 Shopping Guide

July is coming up and this is your reminder that there will be some new products and promotions that will kick off tonight on the LEGO Shop. The main promotion is for the LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (40486) with purchases of $85 or more, while supplies last. The promo runtime was supposed to be from July 1-25 but the Store Calendar seems to have changed it to July 1-14 so plan accordingly and there might not be that much stock since they’ve shortened the time.


Speaking of adidas, the LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (10282) buildable shoe will be available for $79.99. You can read my review here.


The new LEGO Ideas Typewriter (21327) will be available to the general public for $199.99 but as of right now, it is out of stock. We’ll see if LEGO puts it up again for sale. You can read my review here.


The LEGO Monkie Kid theme will have three new sets added to the lineup.

Sandy’s Power Loader Mech (80025) – $54.99
Pigsy’s Noodle Tank (80026) – $59.99
The Bone Demon (80028) – $119.99


Lastly, we have the new LEGO Disney The Ice Castle (43197) which also retails for $199.99. It is a larger scale castle that is comparable to the original Disney Castle (71040) but it’s not labeled as an exclusive.

That was delayed until today for LEGO CON 2021 and they have just announced that the Foosball Table by Constructions by Donat has been chosen to become a LEGO Ideas set. It will now go to the production phase and be released at a future date.

LEGO Ideas Earth Globe Teased in Video?

Yesterday, LEGO announced they have revealed the first prototype LEGO brick made from recycled plastic. In the video, could LEGO have teased part of the Earth Globe which was the winner of the First 2020 Review Stage on LEGO Ideas? It is currently under development with at least two more projects to be released ahead of it so there’s still a long ways away from being ready. The land masses have some updated coloring and parts for the terrain but the building style is pretty similar. Of course, this is just speculation and it’s just a brick-built globe LEGO had but it does make you wonder just a little bit. Thanks to Federico for the eagle eye.
